Parade of Colors by Hap Palmer

Carol Hartery's Free Activity Tools

Includes: Sample Color Cards and Lyrics

 For years Hap Palmer's song, Parade of Colors, from his CD, Learning Basic Skills through Music Volume 2, has been a great way to teach colors while incorporating movement into the lesson. As a variation, I thought this would make a great Valentine activity if I switched the card for a heart.  So I created two sets of hearts: one in full color and the other blank so that the children can color it themselves. Print out your choice of heart and cut the paper in two and pass them the halves to each child in the class.  Then get the music player going and start moving and dancing.

EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA!

You can do the same activity with butterflies too!

Can you think of other things that can be substituted? Birds, fish, bugs can be used perhaps?

Enjoy!
